Integration of Image Processing Education and Research

该计划的研究部分有两个主要方面：1)研究多帧双线性图像恢复问题的数学和计算方面；2)开发和应用解决高分辨率透射电子显微镜以及地面和天基天文学领域的问题的解决方案。这一计划的理论进步为记录强度数据的许多成像问题提供了统一的方法，包括那些以前没有发现满意解决方案的问题。与材料科学家在研究固体电池中原子尺度过程等问题上的合作提供了令人兴奋的应用，该计划中开发的新方法正被用于增强电子显微镜的分辨率和信息收集能力。通过教学部分，正在建立一个教育方案，重点是：1)建立一个多学科实验室，来自多个系的教职员工和学生共同探索遥感和成像方面的问题；2)开发多学科的遥感和成像课程，其中包括来自多个系的学生，每个学生的教育目标--从理论基础到具体应用--都是根据他或她的个人需要量身定做的；以及3)利用强有力的研究-教学交流，在课堂和实验室中使用尖端技术作为一种工具，激发、激励和保持学生的热情

The research component of this program has two major thrusts: 1) an investigation of the mathematical and computational aspects of the multiframe, bilinear image- recovery problem; and 2) the development and application of solutions for problems in the areas of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and ground- and space-based astronomy. Theoretical advances in this program are providing a unified approach to many imaging problems in which intensity data are recorded, including those for which satisfactory solutions have not been previously discovered. Collaborations with materials scientists on problems such as the study of atomic scale processes in solid batteries are providing exciting applications for which new methods developed in this program are being used to enhance the resolving and information-gathering powers of electron microscopes. Through the teaching component, an educational program is being established with emphasis on 1) the development of a multidisciplinary laboratory in which faculty and students from many departments jointly explore problems in remote sensing and imaging; 2) the development of multidisciplinary courses in remote sensing and imaging in which students from many departments are included, and the educations goals for each student - ranging from theoretical foundations to specific applications - are tailored to his or her individual needs; and 3) the use of a strong research-teaching exchange in which cutting-edge technology is used in the classroom and laboratory as a tool to excite, motivate, and retain enthusiasm in the students
